Pierre Arman, whose birth name was Armand Fernandez, was born in Nice,
France in 1928. His father, an antique dealer and weekend
painter, had moved the family from Algeria to southern France.
Best known for his 'assemblages' created from found objects, Arman
divided his time between France and the United States.
His
first exposure to painting was through his father, who gave him art
lessons. In 1946, he began his painting study at the Ecole
Nationale d'Art Decor (showing 500 of 13430 characters). |
